has it continues to lift north across the gulf of mexico. you can see the eye more clearly formed and deep thunderstorm activity and these storms are intensifying as they approach landfall can really push in a very dangerous storm surge. that will be a big story as we head into the day on wednesday. here's a look at our track of the center of the storm, the eye of it. very close to panama city to port saint joe as we head into early afternoon. and then it will move up across georgia and the carolinas holding on to that circulation. that will continue to bring strong winds, although below hurricane strength across much of the southeast. the storm surge warnings up along the coastline, 6 to as much as 13 feet of storm surge especially towards the big bend area and up toward panama city. if you have an evacuation order, heed that. it's a very dangerous hurricane. there you see the wind gusts as it pushes off to the north and east, falling below hurricane strength across georgia and the carolinas, but still some gusts over 50 miles per hour and that combined with rainfall can bring

>> we have a backup generator ready to go and deploy here with the technicians available for when we need it. >> reporter: facilities like this still show they can keep residents safe in order to get an extension. part of demand is the problem. the way for the generator which complies with the state law can go anywhere from 16 to 24 weeks. the hurricane is already impacting travel. american, delta, and southwest airlines are waiving change of flight fees along michael's projected path.seral airports a including tallahassee and panama city have shut down operations beginning today. there are gas shortages. gas stations in tallahassee have run out of fuel. and amtrak is modifying its service in florida. we'll have complete coverage of hurricane michael including reports from our correspondents on the gulf coast.
